The substructure [Platas] is [the property] of Adrastos Polychromes, the son of Glykon, the son of Glykon, the son of Leon, the son of Hekatomnon. The substructure that Polychronia, the daughter of Kallikrates gave up to him, on that substructure he built a monument, lying upon the substructure, and both the sarcophagus [Soros] and the compartments [Isostee] in it, and the other things in it. In that sarcophagus I buried Barilla, my wife; and likewise I wish myself to be put into the sarcophagus, but nobody else. Into the first compartment, lying under the sarcophagus, I wish my [second] wife, and Polychronios my son to be buried. But in the other compartment I wish to be put Tatianos and Adrastos, my children; but nobody else to be put either into the sarcophagus or into the compartments. But if my heirs, after having put me into the sarcophagus, shall not make fast the bolt, let my heir be the goddess Aphrodite. The trustees of the temple for the time being shall institute proceedings about it, who shall be responsible for it. But if, contrary to the directions, a nybody shall bury another [in the monument], let him be accursed, and besides pay into the most holy treasury five thousand denaria, of which one-third is to be his, who institutes proceedings.
